1. added the possibility to redirect stderr to stdout in utils.run_cmd
2. synch.py now calls the above run_cmd in redirect mode instead of the
old 'cmd' that doesn't intercept standard streams. This makes it easier
for an external tool to intercept the output of 'hg'.
Fault is triggered by trying to read LPC_CAN1->IER when the peripheral is powered off. Fixed by checking the power control register before checking the IER register.
While fixing this issue in the various LPC* ports, I noticed a comment
pointing to this mbed forum post which summarizes this bug quite well:
https://mbed.org/forum/bugs-suggestions/topic/4473/
This bug was introduced in the following commit:
2662e105c4
The following code was added to serial_putc() as part of this commit:
uint32_t lsr = obj->uart->LSR;
lsr = lsr;
uint32_t thr = obj->uart->THR;
thr = thr;
As the forum post indicates, this causes the serial_putc() routine to
actually eat an inbound received byte if it exists since reading THR is
really reading the RBR, the Receiver Buffer Register. This code looks
like code that was probably added so that the developer could take a
snapshot of these registers and look at them in the debugger. It
probably got committed in error.
LPC11U24/LPC11U24_301/LPC11U35_401 shared the same startup file for ARM
and uARM toolchains, which is wrong, because the initial SP value is
different for LPC11U24_301. This commit fixes this issue by giving each
target its own startup file.
There were lots of overlaps in the code for LPC810 and LPC812, including
duplicated source files. This commit adds a TARGET_LPC81X_COMMON folder in
both HAL and CMSIS, this folder keeps common code for the targets.
The dependency file generated by GCC might contain more than one
dependency listed on a single line, which wasn't taken into account by the
GCC dependency fille interpreter. This commit fixes this issue.
If the FileBase::lookup operation in the constructor of FilePath returns
NULL, subsequent operations (such as isFile()/isFileSystem()) will call
methods on a NULL 'fb' pointer. This commit fixes this issue by adding
explicit NULL checks and a new method in FilePath (exists()).
Asm versions of netstack memcpy() and lwip_standard_chksum()
[Note] I'm generally a bit reluctant when including optimizations like this (from an architectural standpoint), because they tend to be a bit too specific (for example, this one works only with lwIP+GCC+Cortex-M3 or M4), but for now it looks as this is the right place for them, although the optimized memcpy should ideally be in libc (or even better replaced with a DMA transfer in this particular case). But this will be both a nice optimization and a reminder of what we need to implement/change in the future.
Based on great feedback from Martin Kojtal on my previous commit, I
have modified my USBHost::fileControlBuf() change to be more portable.

The code now fills in the setupPacket byte array a byte at a time,
using bit shifts to extract lower and upper bytes from the 16-bit
values so that the code should work on big endian or little endian
machines. I also removed the 2-byte alignment attribute from the
setupPacket array as it is no longer required.
1. Added: GCC_CR toolchain ID for LPC2368. (targets.py)
2. Modified: Startup codes for GCC_ARM and GCC_CR toolchain.
3. Verified: "ticker" and "basic" test program work well, so far.
(Fixed typo.)

I verified that the hang issue I was seeing when building and running
the mbed official networking tests with GCC_ARM was related to this
issue reported on the mbed forums:
http://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/3803/?page=1#comment-18934
If you are using the 4.7 2013q1 update of GCC_ARM or newer then it
will have a _sbrk() implementation which checks the new top of heap
pointer against the current thread SP, stack pointer.
See this GCC_ARM related thread for more information:
https://answers.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+question/218972
When using RTX RTOS threads, the thread's stack pointer can easily
point to an address which is below the current top of heap so this
check will incorrectly fail the allocation.
I have added a _sbrk() implementation to the mbed SDK which checks the
heap pointer against the MSP instead of the current thread SP. I have
only enabled this for TOOLCHAIN_GCC_ARM as this is the only GCC based
toolchain that I am sure requires this.
For tests such as TCPEchoServer
(http://mbed.org/users/emilmont/notebook/networking-libraries-benchmark/)
this change showed a 28% improvement (14Mbps to 18Mbps) when the echo
test was modified to instead use 1K data buffers.
I targetted these two functions based on manual profiling samples which
showed that a great deal of time was being spent in these two functions
when the network stack was being slammed with UDP packets.
A new hooks mechanism (hooks.py) allows various targets to customize
part(s) of the build process. This was implemented to allow generation of
custom binary images for the EA LPC4088 target, but it should be generic
enough to allow other such customizations in the future. For now, only the
'binary' step is hooked in toolchains/arm.py.
I changed the following initialization from:
uint8_t cmd[6] = {0x12, (lun << 5) | evpd, page_code, 0, 36, 0};
to:
uint8_t cmd[6] = {0x12, uint8_t((lun << 5) | evpd), page_code, 0, 36, 0};
This makes it clear to the compiler that we are Ok with the 32-bit
integer result from the shift and logical OR operation (after integral
promotions) being truncated down to a 8-bit unsigned value. This is
safe as long as lun only has a value of 7 or lower.
